Don't Do This!

I recently signed up to view stuff on Quora, a question and answer community. Sort of social but a bit different, at least for me. So far I am just exploring it to see what it's all about.

The point I want to make here is not so much about Quora, but the options it gave me when signing  up.



This makes it easy for a user to sign up.  It also makes it easier to track this user.  Some time back I recall reading about someone who got hacked and because he had used this method of 'linking' to all of his accounts, guess what, EVERYTHING he had was hacked! Don't signup with Google, Facebook, Twitter or any other site!
